Bai Yihai’s deep master-disciple relationship

In 1995, the Pingliang martial arts gym opened by Bai Yihai was already somewhat famous in the local area. He took the martial arts disciples to participate in various competitions and won honors. This year, Yan Feixia returned to Pingliang with her Japanese master, I heard that a martial arts master from the Kongtong sect who returned from Japan aroused the curiosity of various civil and military figures in the martial arts, art, and media circles at that time, and was warmly entertained by the Pingliang government like a distinguished guest.

Master Yan, who came all the way from Japan, will select the top ten disciples in Pingliang. People from all walks of life in the civil and military circles are eager to worship Master Yan as their teacher and become the top ten disciples in Kongtong Pingliang. At this time, Bai Yihai, the martial arts head coach who was well-known in Pingliang Martial Arts Hall, naturally became one of the top ten disciples in Pingliang.

The purpose of this trip for Master Yan Feixia, who has been away from her motherland for more than ten years, is to select the top ten founding disciples at the foot of Kongtong Mountain, establish roots in Kongtong, and promote Kongtong Martial Arts, including opening one in Pingliang Martial arts gym. The local leaders are very enthusiastic and hope that Master Yan can open a martial arts gym on Kongtong Mountain and are willing to invest in buying the hilltop for the development and construction of a martial arts gym. Yan Feixia believes that Kongtong Mountain is steep and it is not feasible to open a martial arts gym on Kongtong Mountain. It is possible that someone would go to the mountains to go to school. It was not easy to enroll students, and the funds were too large. It was considered a huge sum at the time. Master Yan was a martial arts practitioner and was outspoken. He felt that the other party was a bit pushy. Then there was a disagreement and an embarrassing situation occurred between the two parties. , broke up unhappy, and apart from Bai Yihai, all the major disciples he worshiped also broke up. Master Yan stayed in Pingliang for a month and taught his disciple Bai Yihai Tai Chi and other martial arts essentials before returning. In 1996, Master Yan Feixia returned to Pingliang again. After being away from her motherland for many years, it was Master Yan's big wish to take root in Kongtong and develop Kongtong martial arts. However, because the government route he took the previous time was no longer feasible, he changed his mind this time. To spread the idea, I went directly to Bai Yihai and wanted to help him spread it through this young man with solid foundation. I taught him his experience and various Kongtong martial arts skills every day during the day, and focused on teaching Xuankong Tai Chi, the highest martial art in Kongtong.

The Kongtong School’s six-way tan kick is also a basic exercise, including flash, spread, soar, move, hook, shovel, and hang. It is different from Shaolin’s Twelve-Road Tan Kick and Cha Quan’s Ten-Road Tan Kick. But Bai Yihai had learned these before. Later, Bai Yihai evolved it into the Sixteen-way Jumping Kung Fu as one of the basic skills courses of Kongtong Yihai's close defense and safety technique. In addition, Master Yan mainly taught him the essentials of the Eight Gates of Kongtong Sect and how to combine the exercises he had learned with the Eight Gates of Kongtong School to extract the essence at a very fast speed.

Master Yan didn’t see anyone during this trip, and he just concentrated on teaching apprentices behind closed doors. Bai Yihai sometimes brought his own disciples to accompany and take care of the master. After teaching Bai Yihai martial arts for a month, he returned to Japan. It can be said that it is well-intentioned!

After receiving the true inheritance from Master Yan, Bai Yihai deeply felt the power of Kongtong Tai Chi. This is the inheritance of true internal martial arts, and it can be combined with various previous martial arts techniques to reach an extremely powerful state! After Master Yan left, he never forgot to practice every day. Once, Bai Yihai acted bravely and knocked down eight or nine pickpocket troublemakers at the train station with just a few blows from left to right. Even he himself didn't know how two blows could be so powerful! This was the first time I experienced the effects of Kongtong Tai Chi! In 1996, Bai Yihai listened to the managers at the Kongtong Mountain Administration Bureau and hoped that he could become a government employee in the future. He closed down his Pingliang Martial Arts Gym and came to Kongtong Mountain to be the head coach of the Kongtong Martial Arts Hall. I stayed on Kongtong Mountain for more than half a year, doing nothing except teaching students every day. I was very lonely and depressed on the mountain, and my days felt like years!

In July 1997, one day Bai Yihai was teaching students to practice, when he suddenly saw Yan Feixia standing next to him and calling him! Let it be flattered! "Master! Why are you here!!" This time Master Yan brought a dozen Japanese disciples, but Master Yan's face was long and extremely unhappy, "You, collect your things! Get down the mountain right away!" "There are reasons why Master Yan is unhappy. Firstly, he was deceived by the relevant management personnel here. Secondly, Bai Yihai should not have listened to this person and actually closed his martial arts gym and followed Kongtong Mountain. Master Hou Yan, Bai Yihai and all his disciples teach martial arts for free on the playground every day, trying their best to influence and promote Kongtong martial arts! It was not until a month later that Master Yan returned to Japan with his Japanese disciples. Before leaving, he asked Bai Yihai to be his assistant. Instead, he had to teach martial arts on the playground every day without charging anyone a penny. He also promised to go back and apply to Japan. Bai Yihai will be paid monthly.

After the master left, Bai Yihai did as he said. He taught martial arts and Kongtong Tai Chi in the square every day, and he confiscated a penny. The teaching also greatly improved his Tai Chi skills. But day after day, month after month, there was no news about Master Yan. How could a young man with a family go on spending so much without making any money? Maybe Master Yan has something hard to say. Bai Yihai persisted like a piece of wood for half a year, and his family was in disbelief and strongly opposed it! In the end I couldn't hold on anymore and had to give up.

Half a year later, he heard what Master said about him in Shanghai, so he had the idea of ????running to Shanghai to visit. He traveled around with several fellow villagers, trying to find ways to do some business. Later he went to Dongguan, Guangdong and became the personal bodyguard of Mr. Wen Yilong, a British Hong Kong businessman. This man had a very big business and often introduced martial artists and artists from various countries to various parts of China to learn about Chinese martial arts. Once, a Finnish TV station After coming, Bai Yihai took them to Shaolin, Wudang, Mount Emei, Mount Wutai, Hunan, Hubei, Guangdong, Guangxi, Jiangsu and Zhejiang to photograph Chinese martial arts culture. In 1998, Wen Yilong brought Bai Yihai to Shanghai and opened a company at No. 903 Jinling Building, Shanghai. At that time, there were certain cultural differences between foreign companies registering and launching companies in China. The company did not develop smoothly and suffered heavy losses. It ended soon. At this time, Wen Yilong planned to quit Shanghai and return to the UK, but he felt deeply sorry for Bai Yihai who was by his side day and night, so he introduced Bai Yihai to work for Hong Kong Jiaren Pictures. Liang Jiaren was also a famous actor, and he starred in "Fearless Fearless" was once all the rage and became a household name among women and children. Bai Yihai was very moved after hearing this, because he had admired Fearless Yuanjia since he was a child, but then he thought about the fact that he is a Hui and a Muslim, and he was working with the filming crew. It was very inconvenient to live and eat together, so I declined this great opportunity. Wen Yilong is a seasoned businessman and thinks it is not an option for Bai Yihai to live like this in Shanghai. He often sees Bai Yihai going to a ramen restaurant to eat ramen almost every day. So he wanted to lend Bai Yihai 20,000 yuan to open a ramen restaurant in Shanghai. However, Bai Yihai had never done business and was not good at cooking. He was worried about losing money, so he did not dare to accept it. I had no choice but to go back to my hometown in Pingliang. Bai Yihai thus lost a great opportunity to demonstrate and promote Kongtong martial arts!

Another year later, in 1999, British Wen Yilong was invited by the Shaolin Martial Arts Troupe to attend the Martial Arts Forum. He contacted Bai Yihai and asked him to come to Shaolin to watch together, and at the same time gave him a surprise. He was asked to go back and apply for a visa to the UK immediately. He was already planning to open a martial arts gym in the UK and let Bai Yihai be the head coach. Because time was limited, Bai Yihai hurriedly returned to Pingliang to start the process, but because he was a Hui and a Muslim Due to various reasons, the application was blocked and the great opportunity to go abroad for development was shattered again!

Having no choice but to be extremely disappointed, Bai Yihai had nowhere to go, so he returned to Shanghai again, brought a few disciples with him, and actually opened a ramen restaurant in Shanghai. Because his nature is too kind and he is not good at management, several of his disciples like to go to red wine, dance and green places to spend the night when he is not around. They quickly use up the little money they have. Unfortunately, they catch up with some large-scale exhibitions in the sea. The business could no longer continue and had to be closed down.

After that, Bai Yihai returned to Pingliang. Apart from learning martial arts and watching martial arts, his life was very boring. He felt that he could not do without martial arts. There was no development prospect in a small place like the northwest. The only way out was to expand outside. So in 2003, he went south again and came to Dongguan. This time he settled down at Dongguan Shuilin School, determined to lay a good foundation here and taught many students in Dongguan, Shenzhen, Guangzhou, Beijing, and Hong Kong. He and other places took students to participate in various martial arts competitions and won numerous gold, silver and bronze medals. They were invincible and achieved great results. In July 2004, Bai Yihai returned to his hometown in Pingliang during his vacation. One night, he faintly heard someone shouting "Bai-Yi-Hai, Bai-Yi-Hai!" outside his home. It was Yi Tengjian! It turned out that Master Yan had returned to Pingliang and was looking for him everywhere. This time he came straight to Bai Yihai. Bai Yihai's home was in the suburbs at the time. Master Yan had been unable to contact Bai Yihai. The only person he could contact was Yi Tengjian. He said: "No matter what method you use, you must find Bai Yihai for me tonight!" Yi Tengjian really didn't know where Bai Yihai's home was. After asking about it, he came to the western suburbs and went from house to house and asked around one by one before he found it. In his house, because the yard of Bai Yihai's house was deep into the house, he yelled outside for a long time before he heard it. Fortunately, it was already very late at night.

This time Master Yan and his wife, Hua Wuying, came to Pingliang with more than a dozen disciples. This time, his health was already very bad. He had lung cancer, was emaciated, had asthma when talking, and had been suffering from chronic pain for many years. Related to smoking too much. Hua Wuying and the Japanese disciples stayed in Pingliang for a week before returning to Japan. The purpose of this trip is that Master Yan wants to help Bai Yihai reopen a martial arts school in Pingliang and let him inherit the great cause of Kongtong. Moreover, he himself has been abroad for many years, is in poor health, and has no children. He regards him as his son and wants to return to Kongtong. Retiring and spending his old age with Bai Yihai, the master asked Bai Yihai: "I don't like Japan, Bai Yihai, if I go back to Pingliang to live with you in your home and spend my old age, is it okay?" Bai Yihai replied: "One day is a teacher, and one is a lifetime." "Father, are you used to our Islamic food?" The master said, "Anything is fine. If I can cure the disease, I will come back to Pingliang to live with you and sponsor you to open a martial arts school in Pingliang." Let you teach students for free in the square. You have really taught for half a year without receiving a penny. In fact, it is Master's test to see if you really have this heart." Bai Yihai knew that Master was very ill. It's serious and may not be cured. I feel very worried and sad for Master. The old man's words and deeds revealed that he missed his country extremely and was eager to take root in Kongtong Mountain. However, the simple and simple Bai Yihai did not fully realize the master's urgent request. He thought that he was already in the mountain at this time. Guangdong is developing well. It has just started, and he is responsible for this. However, in order to fulfill his master's wish, he recommended a person to his master. There is a man named Wang Biao who is opening a Shaolin Martial Arts School on Gangou Road in Pingliang. , if Wang Biao opens Kongtong Martial Arts School in Pingliang, he can develop it in Guangdong, so that the inside should be integrated with the outside. Kongtong martial arts will definitely be well promoted. But Wang Biao is a Shaolin disciple. I don’t know what his wishes are. You can consider discussing it with him. After hearing this suggestion, the master agreed to let him recommend him. Soon Bai Yihai and Yi Tengjian found Wang Biao, explained the situation to him, and asked him to consider worshiping Master Yan as his master, and then asking Master Yan to invest in helping him open Kongtong Martial Arts School. After Wang considered it, he asked the Shaolin master and agreed to it. He wanted to become a disciple again, so Wang followed Bai Yihai and others to visit Master Yan and explain his intention to become a disciple.

Coincidentally, Yi Tengjian was well-informed as a reporter, and a Pingliang Martial Arts Forum was about to be held in Pingliang. Yi reported to Minister Song of the Propaganda Department that Master Yan had returned to Pingliang, and Minister Song He was very enthusiastic and immediately personally invited Yan Feixia to participate in the conference. The government paid attention to it. As soon as the news came out, all the leaders who came to see Master Yan came to visit one after another. The crowd was bustling, and many leaders also received various calligraphy works written by Master Yan. Master asked the visiting Minister Song and Secretary Yan to make relevant arrangements for Bai Yihai in order to better develop Kongtong martial arts, and they also expressed their agreement. The visit was very lively. At this time, Wang Biao came again. Seeing that so many leaders respected Master Yan, he decided to become his teacher. Master Yan was very unhappy at this time and was not in good health, but he still reluctantly He stood up and taught Wang Biao Feilong a few moves in the actual combat boxing. It was very difficult for him to learn, and asked Bai Yihai to do demonstration moves on the side, wanting to see Wang's martial arts skills. After Wang left, Master Yan was still dissatisfied. He said to Bai Yihai and Yi Tengjian who were present: "This person has poor basic skills and is not suitable for practicing Kongtong Kung Fu at all. He is also inconsistent and has no sincerity. I will not take a group photo with him." Then he handed the apprenticeship sticker to Yi. Teng Jian: "Keep this apprenticeship post. If Wang Biao does something for the Kongtong Sect in the future, forget it. If he does something detrimental to the Kongtong Sect, take out this post and declare that the Kongtong Sect does not have this. Disciple, I confiscate this disciple." Then he handed Bai Yihai the seal of the tenth generation leader of the Kongtong Sect, "You keep this seal and these well," and handed him a complete set of martial arts secrets on a CD.

After Yi Tengjian and Bai Yihai came back, he said to Bai Yihai: "This big seal that Master gave you is the seal that is stamped on the calligraphy gifts given by many leaders in Pingliang City. You should keep it well. Don’t take it out casually.”

Master Yan stayed here for another month. He happened to participate in a local martial arts forum and was recognized and warmly received by the local people. This was considered a sure thing for Kongtong Hongyang. At the same time, Bai Yihai, the future inheritor of the Kongtong sect, was identified, and they discussed and exchanged a lot with Bai Yihai about how to develop Kongtong martial arts in the future.

After the master left.

Bai Yihai felt that his master had given him too much and felt a little sorry. In order to develop Kongtong, he gave Yi Tengjian some of the martial arts routines given by Master Yan so that Yi could write a chapter for Kongtong Fu. At the same time, Let Yi give Wang Biao a copy when he has the opportunity to help Wang Biao open the Kongtong Martial Arts School and pass it on to his disciples. During the winter vacation in February 2005, Bai Yihai returned to Pingliang for the Spring Festival. At this time, he received a call from Yan Feixia, who said that she was in Shanghai. Bai Yihai was going to Shanghai to see his old man. He asked Yihai to meet in Guangzhou. Guangzhou disciple Zhang Yong and others arranged for Master to stay in Guangzhou Hospital and paid two The hospital bill was more than 10,000 yuan. At this time, Master Yan was already terminally ill and had advanced lung cancer. The doctor said that he needed to have a lung transplant immediately, which cost 3.5 million to 50,000 yuan. The major disciples in Guangzhou asked Master to quickly ask Japan to send money for the lung replacement surgery in the hospital. Master Yan called the Japanese teacher's wife, but the Japanese teacher asked him to go back to Japan. Because he had no money for treatment, Master had no choice but to give up on lung transplantation in China and returned to Japan. This time Bai Yihai saw his master for the last time.

This time in Guangzhou, Bai Yihai accompanied Master in the hospital day and night and stayed with Master for a week. Master Yan has been traveling in the world for many years and has suffered a lot, so he has always been cautious towards everyone. In addition, Master taught Bai Yihai every day even though he was seriously ill. The Kongtong Xuankong method can only be passed down by Zhang sect talents. Master Yan told him that these are things that the Japanese have reserved and not taught over the years. At that time, more than 50 people in Japan The masters use Xuan Kong Push Hands to fight against each other. The Xuan Kong Sect's mental techniques must be refined, practice makes perfect, and you can defeat the enemy with skill. Let him listen carefully. He sat on the bed and showed off his paintings. He also taught him the core of martial arts, the ethics of martial arts, the legendary stories of his own master, and his feelings in Japan over the years... The biggest regret is that he did not teach martial arts on Kongtong Mountain. The foundation of the museum was settled. Although he had reached an agreement with the local leaders, he was still very uneasy. Speaking of sad people crying, Bai Yihai felt very uncomfortable at this time. He deeply felt that his master had cultivated him carefully for many years, but he had not really been impressed by the local people after returning to Pingliang several times. Support, but there is nothing I can do! Living in exile in his later years...Master took out his favorite photo with a smiling face and other information, "If anything happens to Master in the future, you can put this photo on my stone tablet and bury me too." On Kongtong Mountain... You should keep the seal of my Zhangpai. Master gave it to you because he believed in you. I hope you will use it as a token of the Zhangpai, so as to promote Kongtong and pass it on well. Make Kongtong Martial Arts stronger and bigger. No matter where you go, you can never give up Kongtong. You must work hard to carry forward Kongtong! You are now the leader of Xuankong Sect, and only those from the sect can learn Kongtong Xuankong Sect! "My heart wants secrets." There was something in the master's words. Bai Yihai understood and felt that this seal was heavy in his mind. He didn't know if the master would be able to come back to Japan this time. . . . He accepted the inheritance from his master and introduced his development in Dongguan, saying that even if he works alone, he will persist in working hard to promote Kongtong!

After staying in Guangzhou Hospital for a month, Master had to leave Guangzhou and return to Japan. It was not until July that the bad news of Yan Feixia's death came to Japan. If he could have his lungs replaced in China in time, he might not be lying in Japan forever! A generation of masters has just left us forever. "Kongtong needs to be passed on." Bai Yihai's mind echoes the master's words every day, "Kongtong must be carried forward!!!"
